This is one of my favorite places now in Stockholm. Found it by chance when searching google maps, and it did prove that this find is simply amazing. The entire museum grounds is filled with many statues, fountains, stupendous vistas of the sea and the city, and as it is only a short ride from Stockholm's city center, for 170 SEK you get the opportunity to see the life of Carl Milles and his wife Olga who built these grounds in 1908 and since then the place has grown to be a gorgeous setting with peaceful and alluring content.
